I was just wondering what to expect. I'll be down later this week and am pretty excited as yes, this will be my first time down there.

I've gone to the fan fest in Charlotte before so I was just wondering will it be like that? Is it more individualized? More personal? (meaning not as many people there)

I've also read the training camp tips on both the homepage here and at the panthers site. Was just seeing what other advice, suggestions, people had for someone trying to maximize the experience.

Thanks in advance

The first day and any weekend practices will be the most crowded. When I went last year to a morning weekday practice, I would estimate there were 2000 people there and I was able to stand at the fence about 10 feet from the players standing on the sidelines.

Really? I went last year on a Sunday and it wasn't bad crowded at all.

I know people are excited about going now, but the truth of the matter is that if you wait and go the last week there is only a fraction of the crowd there.

In the last week of camp:

1. Kids are usually starting back to school thus no parents/kid combinations there.

2. Most everybody that has wanted to see a practice has already been to one.

3. Weekday practices require people to miss work.

Those last two days or so of practice I've seen as few as 150 people there.

Thanks for the information everyone.

How do the morning and evening sessions differ? Do only certain players sign autographs on certain days?

there isn't any difference in morning v. evening practices that i have ever noticed. each practice is a bit different though. just depends on what they have to work on.

about autographs...it's just who ever feels like signing them that day. some guys are really good about it and some will never do it (kasay). if they want to they will come over to where the fans are on their way to and from practice (which is the only time that you can get them).

the practices aren't fan events. it isn't to give us a show. it's just for them but they let the fans come and watch. it isn't a PR activity for them like some of the fan events, it's work.

John Kasay used to sign more than anyone else ... used to be the last player out.

Thanks again for the info. I'm debating on heading down and catching the Thursday practice as well seeing as how Friday evening's practice will either be shortened or canceled...

      Yes, more recently. The way duke fans act you'd think they'd won five of the last ten or something crazy when they've actually won zero if the last ten. They haven't even even played in a championship ship game in the last decade. Carolina has played in three. For all the elite NBA talent that has come through Durham, duke is in a woeful championship drought. Duke fans used to talk all kinds of poo about how Carolina failed to win titles with Stackhouse/Wallace and Carter/Jamison and honestly they had a point. We should've gotten a title or two out of those teams. But man, duke's current run of elite talent with no titles puts that to shame.

      A Zietlow (observer) 3 centers to consider for draft

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      In response to mailbag questions about drafting a center from Observer, Zietlow gives this infO  From Alex The Panthers, after all, aren’t going to be as stacked with interior offensive linemen who can be converted into centers as they were last year. Cade Mays is already gone to Detroit. Austin Corbett moved on to Buffalo. Brady Christensen might still come back, but his future is murky too … and he ruptured his Achilles five months ago.   Keylan Rutledge. The guard out of Georgia Tech has received high marks in the pre-draft process, and if he drops to the Panthers at No. 51 somehow, they should take him. He worked at guard and center during the 2026 Senior Bowl.   Jake Slaughter. The 6-foot-5, 303-pound center out of Florida really impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine in February, notably with a 5.1-second 40-yard dash time. He’s a center by trade, and coach Dave Canales likes athletic centers who can get to the second level of the defense. Slaughter is projected to be a third- or fourth-round pick.   Billy Schrauth. Another draft, another Notre Dame draft pick?At least, it’s possible with Schrauth, the 6-foot-5, 310-pound interior offensive lineman and team captain. He spent most of his college career at guard, but reports indicate a transition to center would be easy for him. He’s projected to be a Day 3 pick.
